A minimally invasive option for treating stress urinary incontinence in Cyprus.
Speak with GMS care team

Key Information

Target Condition: The procedure treats Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), which is urine leakage caused by increased bladder pressure during activities like coughing or exercising due to weakened urethral support.
The EnPlace™ Device: It is a small, soft supportive implant placed beneath the urethra to reinforce natural structures. Unlike traditional slings, it avoids passing needles behind the pubic bone or through the groin, reducing surgical trauma.
Minimally Invasive Technique: Performed through the vagina in under 30 minutes without external incisions, the device is positioned using the body’s natural tissues and secured with dissolvable stitches under local or light general anesthesia.
Recovery and Benefits: Patients typically return home the same day and resume light activities within a few days. Benefits include a lower risk of complications, precise anatomical placement, and effective relief from SUI symptoms.

About FEMSelect® EnPlace™ Procedure

A minimally invasive option for treating stress urinary incontinence. GMS Cyprus assists women from all over the world to undergo FEMSelect® EnPlace™ procedure from top surgeons, in Cyprus.

What problem does this procedure treat?

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the leakage of urine during activities that increase pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, laughing, exercising, or lifting. It is caused by weakness in the support of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the bladder).

What is the FEMSelect® EnPlace™ device?

The FEMSelect® EnPlace™ device is a small, soft supportive implant placed beneath the urethra to help restore its support. It works by gently reinforcing the body’s natural structures so the urethra stays closed during everyday activities.

Unlike traditional sling surgery, the EnPlace™ system is designed to be placed without passing needles behind the pubic bone or through the groin, which reduces surgical trauma.

How is the procedure performed?

The procedure is carried out through the vagina, without any external incisions. You will be given local anaesthetic, regional anaesthetic, or light general anaesthesia, depending on what you and your surgeon decide.

A small opening is made in the vaginal wall beneath the urethra. Using the EnPlace™ delivery system, the device is positioned precisely in the correct anatomical location. The implant is secured using the body’s natural supportive tissues, and the vaginal incision is closed with dissolvable stitches.

The procedure is typically short and often takes less than 30 minutes.

What happens after the procedure?

Most patients go home the same day. Discomfort is usually mild and manageable with simple pain relief. Many patients can return to light daily activities within a few days.

Your surgeon will advise temporary restrictions on heavy lifting and strenuous exercise while healing occurs.

Benefits for patients

  • Minimally invasive with no abdominal or groin incisions 
  • Lower risk of complications due to avoidance of blind needle passage 
  • Faster recovery and quicker return to normal activities 
  • Effective relief of stress urinary incontinence symptoms 
  • Precise, anatomy-guided placement 
  • Usually performed as a day-case procedure

Is this procedure right for me?

The FEMSelect® EnPlace™ procedure may be suitable for women with stress urinary incontinence who are seeking a less invasive surgical option. Your specialist will assess your symptoms, medical history, and anatomy to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Testimonials

Ilanit Boker

I happily recommend the services of the GMS team. I needed a unique procedure which is not performed in Israel and I turned to them. 

Over a telephone conversation with GMS representative Roy, I felt caring attention and confidence that he would help in everything. He accompanied us throughout the entire process, before the flight and even after. 

In addition to Roy, we would like to sincerely thank Oriya, our allocated Israeli speaking patient coordinator of the company in Cyprus. 

Even before our departure, Oriya was in touch with us helping with any issues and made sure that we arrived fully prepared – taking into account the smallest details; even to the point of finding out our food preferences, and despite the late hour of our arrival at the hotel, she ensured an exquisite meal was waiting for us in the room. Oriya greeted us upon arrival and truly made us feel like we were her personal guests. She accompanied us throughout the entire day of the operation – attentively, with endless care and continued patience.

I felt like I had a good friend with me in the hospital. This kind of treatment doesn’t happen very often… At the end of the day we parted, hugging each other, and Oriya gave recommendations on where to go and what to do in the time remaining before returning home.

I just don’t have enough words to thank GMS and Oriya for everything. I can only recommend with a reassurance that those who need it should use their services.

When I was looking for information about palm surgery, I found many recommendations about Dr. Amir Oron. After a consultation with Dr. Amir, I was surprised to learn that my health insurance does not guarantee that he will be the surgeon to perform the procedure.

That is when I contacted GMS, who explained how I could have the surgery performed by the physician of my choice – which gave me peace of mind. It is very important for me to share my experience, as the service I received through GMS exceeded any similar experience in Israel: From the beginning I was assigned a GMS representative from Israel, who explained in detail what my experience would be and answered all my questions about the operation and the treatment process. (Thanks, Roy!)

All I had to do was fill out the application form. GMS representatives took care of everything themselves!

They contacted the insurance company on my behalf and even had them check the status of the application until the financial commitment for the surgery was received. We agreed with on the surgical date, booked the flights at a convenient time for me, and also dealt with the hotel reservation. The GMS staff even reviewed the menu and took any dietary restrictions into consideration on my behalf.

We were picked up from the airport in Larnaca, Cyprus where we met the wonderful Oria, who accompanied us throughout the entire visit and took care of every detail; from registration to preparation for the operation.

This is essentially a VIP service that made the entire experience relaxed and stress-free.
The assigned coordinators continued caring after my return to Israel. They were interested in my recuperation post-operatively and also ensured all financial matters were dealt with; all this, by the way, without any commissions or payouts on my part, but directly with my insurance.
In a word – an amazing experience!
In short – I recommend it!

Thank to GMS, thank you Roy, thank you Uriah and thank you Dr. Oron.

I do not even know where to start!!
Overall, the service exceeded all my expectations!

Roy – thank you for your patience, quick responses (minutes!), availability, caring and clear explanations! You are inimitable! Oriya – you are amazing! Thank you for every smile, hug, help, guidance, explanation… really! You are simply amazing!

Every time I was asked by friends and family about the surgery, I immediately started talking about your amazing service! I felt warmth and love, and everyone who was with me felt the same!
We never stop talking about you, and really, only good things!

You have entered our hearts!
Thank you very much for everything! I hope to see you in the future, under different circumstances.

When one thinks of “Medical Operation” overseas, the last thing that comes to mind is a “Great Experience”, but this is exactly what I have experienced, going through a prostate removal procedure via GMS Cyprus. With their professional and compassionate approach, the GMS Cyprus team provides to the confused and worried patient a complete transparent VIP envelop, which takes care of all the logistics involved in “Medical Tourism” for the patient and their escort, as well as assembling a world class international medical team and medical facilities suitable to treat the medical diagnosis at hand.

From the first time the medical situation was diagnosed, and the first contact was made, the GMS team was there to remove the hassle and understand my concerns and worries about the medical issue and being far from home, and they handled every detail of the logistics of travel, insurance company requirements and medical preparations. From first arrival at the luxurious hotel, assigned to the first night and for my personal escort, the GMS management, Udi and Clair, has treated me as family away from home and personally came to greet me and attend firsthand to all my needs and requests. To top it all, they assigned their own personal escort, the wonderful Aia, which was available 24/7 and door to door to handle any need and detail and helped interface with the local hospital team.

I want also to recommend the choice of the hospital at Limassol, which is modern and clean, and of course GMS team have in advance reserved a private and spacious room and nominated a local doctor, which was familiar with my case and participated in the treatment and which came often to check my condition and parameters.

To summarize, I would not go so far as to wish such treatment to anybody, but if you must go through the medical procedure, the VIP treatment provided by GMS is a legitimate alternative, combining easy logistics, professional medical treatment by your own doctor, modern hospital, relaxed overseas experience and personal compassionate escorting to ease and sweeten the experience.
